I cannot reproduce this.  When I add your example to my
`gnus-posting-styles', replying to your message isn't triggered
(tc-make-attribution is void).

[wild guess:] I think what happens was that you first replied to some
proper From-mydomain mail (this sets tc-make-attribution globally
unless you have declared it as a local variable) and later you replied
to the forwarded mail.

Maybe the following works better:

    (eval (set (make-local-variable 'tc-make-attribution)
               'my-simple-attribution))

Or set `tc-make-attribution' to the other value in the default part
(".*") of your posting styles.

Bye, Reiner.
